Hatches

Hatch parameters are used for hatching shapes and objects. They are essential for the depiction of architecture objects and plan generation, so it is important to finish them before moving on to other steps in localisation.

A detailed description of hatch parameters can be found in the ELITECAD manual.

Location

Hatch parameters are stored within the config.val files like almost all other parameters.

In addition information for hatches is stored in the following files:

• Drawings: \<install-dir>/u/<version>/cad/glob/hatch/\<lang_region>
• Preview images: \<install-dir>/u/\<version>/cad/glob/symb/\<lang_region>
• Link: \<install-dir>/u/\<version>/cad/glob/dflt/\<lang_region>/hatchtypdef.txt

Modification

1. Use the copy parameter tool to copy the hatch parameters from the global parameters of a language of your choice, e.g. English to the user parameters of your own region/language.
2. Start ELITECAD and translate the parameters one-by-one if necessary. Save the parameters with Record->Save. Keep in mind that this creates a copy, so you need to Record->Delete the original afterwards.
3. Send your user config.val files (elitecfg folder) to the development team
